Urban Nest

It’s true. We are with the band. And you’ve probably picked up on our rockstar theme this week and are perhaps wondering what it’s all about. Well, I couldn’t be more proud to share with you what’s going on. My husband, Mark, is part of a band called Louisiana Territory. Mark, Tyler and Matt (left to right in photo, below) have been playing together for just over two years and are releasing their first full-length professionally produced, mixed and mastered album this Friday.   

This creative collaboration is comprised of some amazing artists, from the music to the marketing. This photo is one of a ton taken by acclaimed photographer, Casey Templeton. Not only is Casey an incredible photographer, but he’s also one of the kindest, most genuine people we know. I highly suggest spending some time exploring his commercial and wedding portfolios.

I’m ever so slightly biased when it comes to band art, but I have to show you a few of Louisiana Territory’s gig posters, designed by the band’s own Matt Klimas, whose portfolio is also really fun to browse. His fresh and quirky aesthetic combined with always perfect color palettes literally have me stockpiling his work to someday have hanging in our house. 

As for the music — it rocks! You can hear the whole album streaming this week only, pick up a copy at the show, or purchase one online beginning Friday!

I know these songs backward and forward, I love these guys dearly and I can’t wait to toast their accomplishments Friday night at their CD release party.

By the way, the event is open to the public. Please join us! The more the merrier…
